(I am still binding away....) It's about this time every year (I think it is the smell of Spring in the air) when I am reminded of my life seven years ago, when things were very different. All in about 3 months time, I had had surgery, found out I had thyroid cancer, gone off all thyroid meds, had radiation treatments, and was just working my way back up to "normal" life. And for those weeks when I was on the couch, all I longed for was an "ordinary day." I longed to get up and take care of ... View the Post

Teacher Appreciation….a simple gift.
Last week I shared the chevron baby quilt I made for a teacher appreciation gift and today I am sharing the last one. My oldest son's teacher is an avid reader and has a kindle, so I thought a gift certificate for more e-reader books and a handmade case were the perfect gift for her. It got to her a bit behind teacher appreciation week (I told you I am behind in everything right now) but hopefully it will get used this summer. And my favorite wrapping has always been brown paper packages ... View the Post

I can only handle so much.... On top of that there are some big blog things going on behind the scenes (with some major deadlines to boot) so I certainly feel like I am swimming ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Dig it Out
For the past few summers our lawn has been infested with dandelions. (Which I don't mind...I actually kind of like them. But it drives my husband crazy!) So last year in an effort to help my husband I started googling ways to get rid of the dandelions. I wanted something quick and easy---I don't really know what, just something I could do in a jiffy and then show my husband that I had single handedly solved the whole yellow epidemic.Maybe there was an organic spray, some sort of home remedy ...
